Lukasz Konopka, PhD

Dr. Konop­ka, Brain to Behav­ior Pro­gram Direc­tor, is a clin­i­cal neu­ro­sci­en­tist and psy­chol­o­gist with exper­tise in human psychophysiology/​pharmacology and uti­liza­tion of his Brain to Behav­ior Approach to diag­no­sis and treatment.

He inter­prets each patient’s brain func­tion­al­i­ty by con­sid­er­ing their genet­ic vul­ner­a­bil­i­ties, devel­op­men­tal mile­stones, sen­so­ry pro­cess­ing, and neu­robe­hav­ioral pre­sen­ta­tion as sub­strates for devel­op­ing per­son­al­ized treat­ment approach­es. Diag­nos­ti­cal­ly, in addi­tion to the stan­dard clin­i­cal eval­u­a­tion, Dr. Konop­ka relies on qEEG, phys­i­o­log­i­cal data from evoked poten­tials, emo­tion­al acti­va­tion stud­ies, and emo­tion­al and cog­ni­tive neu­robe­hav­ioral test­ing. Ther­a­peu­ti­cal­ly, Dr. Konop­ka uses a behav­ioral and phys­i­o­log­i­cal approach that incor­po­rates tra­di­tion­al indi­vid­ual and fam­i­ly therapy.

“I am pas­sion­ate about help­ing each patient opti­mize their unique poten­tial. My goal is to part­ner with indi­vid­u­als to face life’s chal­lenges and achieve the phys­i­o­log­i­cal, cog­ni­tive, and emo­tion­al flex­i­bil­i­ty that allows for symp­tom man­age­ment through my Brain to Behav­ior Approach.”

Dr. Konopka’s back­ground allows him to effec­tive­ly use biofeed­back, neu­ro­feed­back, and oth­er neu­ro-mod­u­lat­ing tools such as tran­scra­nial stim­u­la­tion. In addi­tion, he also employs ther­a­peu­tics based on cog­ni­tive behav­ioral meth­ods, fam­i­ly sys­tems, psy­cho­dy­nam­ic the­o­ries, art, music, cre­ative writ­ing, and oth­er expres­sive modal­i­ties. Dr. Konop­ka strives to help each patient achieve the phys­i­o­log­i­cal, cog­ni­tive, and emo­tion­al flex­i­bil­i­ty that allows for symp­tom man­age­ment and, ulti­mate­ly, brain remod­el­ing so that the patient can face life’s chal­lenges and opti­mize their unique potential.
